Moving

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to write a quick note letting everyone know we are moving back to Colorado this week. It has been crazy and I haven't had much time to blog (as you can imagine) but I will try and get caught up with all the pictures and videos when we get settled.

Derrick's job got relocated back to Colorado. Pretty crazy huh? We are moving back into our old house (our renter was okay to move) and our ward and it will be like we were on a big vacation in sunny Arizona. We are very excited to be back (and yes, we are excited about the snow) but will miss an awesome community of people here in Arizona.

I hope to find as good of a homeschool group in Colorado as there is here (it is amazing here). We will miss being able to go to the grocery store in shorts and a t-shirt in the winter and being able to play outside all the time. We have a lot to be grateful for and excited about to be back in Colorado. We grew closer as a family and are very excited to introduce Sawyer and Briggs to all our Colorado friends!

Babies' Thanksgiving





Thanksgiving




Tony and Turner got the turkey legs.





Doesn't that look amazing?


Derrick loving the bird with a seasoned butter rub. I thought this year I would get to make my first turkey because we were doing our own Thanksgiving. I was wrong. Derrick and the boys did the turkey and I gotta say--it stole the show!


Everyone helped with the pies!









Tony and I made the pumpkin roll. Delicious!




Turner and Derrick made the stuffing...MMM yummy!




Pyramid



The boys built a pyramid out of sugar cubes for part of our Egypt unit.

At the park


The boys love playing in the sand.

Petting Zoo Birthday

Goats


Rabbits



Baby chicks


We had a friend have a birthday party for her 2 yr olds and they had a petting zoo. The boys thought it was fun. Derrick was cheering on Tony in the Veterans Day Parade. He looked great in his scout uniform.




Spooky

We made "Spooky Punch" and "Spooky Pizza" for dinner for Halloween. The boys helped decorate the house and set up a spider booby trap at the front door. It was fun to get into the season.


Think I put too much dry ice in...whoops!




Tony and Turner designed the pumpkins and Derrick carved them.
